I own a 26inch, I may not see a Green and Red option but if you have the remote you can select TV MENU; from there you can use the down arrow to the bottom portion and you can also choose to do a factory reset if that helps. Otherwise at the top part theres a way to customize all; brightness, saturation, etc under picture choose Custom

Hi Calvin Graham, the answer will depend on if you have a HDTV and receiver or not. If the model # on the front of the receiver starts with ViP, then it is an HD receiver and the picture will be on HDMI1. If not a ViP, it is SD and I would try AVideo1 input on the TV. Also if not an HD receiver and the TV is in the room with the receiver you can try channels 3 or 4. If the receiver is in another room try channel 60 or 73 on the TV. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

OK. For all you regular Joe's like me here's the fix--plain and simple! I have Dish Networks HD receiver, an LG Home Theater System (LHB953) and an LG HD Television - although I suspect this applies for most LG TV-to-LG Audio Systems used in combination with a HD TV). My problem lied within the LG to LG setting known as SIMPLINK which tries to "auto-configure" everything between LG to LG devices.

Do this to make your HD TV (using Dish/DirecTV) play it's HD video display from the satellite provider but play the audio over the LG surround sound speakers:

2. Plug an HD Optical cable (the one with the red laser) from your LG HTS (Home Theater System) to your satellite box. This will carry your HD "audio" ONLY.

3. This is the magic everyone seems to be overlooking. On the LG TV remote, go into the menu options and disable SIMPLINK by setting SIMPLINK=OFF. This feature allows the video and audio signals to be split over 2 different ports: HD video goes over the HDMI cable and the audio to go over the HD Optical cable.

Yes you can split the signal out from the back of the Freesat/HD (not the TV)to the second TV.
Look what outputs are on the Freesat box - the RF (standard cable) output should go to the 2nd TV (TV set to CH3) and the a/v cables,HDMI or DVI cable should go to the new TV - Note:To receive HD the output from the Freesat should be either HDMI,DVI or Composite output (RGB video jacks) with red White for audio. If you have HDMI this is best - it also provides audio.

If you are hooked up to a cable receiver, the closed caption must be disabled in the cable receiver. With most cable receivers the closed caption must either be on or off and there is not cc button on the remote.
